We're here with a brand new PINK challenge.... this time our theme like the title says, is RIBBONS AND BOWS... and we'd love to see you using ribbon of any sort AND/OR BOWS on your creation.... remember, it doesn't have to be a card... it can be any type of creation...... so long as it uses (altogether now...) MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR..

If you'd like to see more details of any of these cards, just click on the name above the card.

So Pinkies..... let your pinkilisciousness run free........ go wild with this lush colour.... and let's see what you can come up with using RIBBONS AND/OR BOWS... but don't forget the boring bit.... use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR.

Well, we seem to have stopped you in your tracks with our recent Sketch challenge.... hope we didn't scare you off... however, we did have some fabulous entries... which again made it difficult to choose!

We decided to choose those Pinkies who we felt followed our Sketch more... but like always, a great big thank you to all that entered.

Hope you like our choice this time..... some pinkies haven't just used the sketch as shown.... they've rotated and interpreted it a different way...... which we love to see. Please take your well deserved badge ladies..

We'll be back in a short while today with a brand new challenge .... and hopefully it won't scare you as much as this one did! See you there...

Well, what have we done????? We've only had a couple of entries this time (as yet) for our Sketch challenge - which has made us so sad as we're sat in the Pink Palace twiddling our thumbs..... don't tell us you lovely Pinkies have been put off by our little sketch???? Nahhhhh you're made of sterner stuff than that...

Or are you all very busy putting your cards together to get them in this week.... yes, that's what it must be!!!

Come on girls.... us Pink Ladies want to get busy!! Scroll down to see the challenge... it really is very easy... don't be put off..

Now.... our exciting news!! We have been joined here at the Pink Palace by two more lovely Pink Ladies who we'd like to introduce to you with their gorgeous creations for this challenge... So say hello to:

"Hi.. my name is Gayle and I live in Birmingham West Midlands with my husband Chris, daughter Bethany, son Josh and Pongo the dog! I have 2 older children Natasha and Mitchell who have both left home. Natasha kindly made me a Nanna at the ripe old age of 42 so I have a 2 year old grandson called Jacob who I adore. I have been a Police Officer for 15 years and got promoted to Sergeant 4 years ago so I'm always busy in one way or another!

I started crafting nearly 2 years ago when I found myself with a couple of weeks off work and bored so bought myself a tatty teddy stamping kit..and the rest is history as they say. I don't think I have a particular style..If I have I haven't found it yet! I obviously love Tilda and who doesn't love PINK??? I was so happy to be asked to join these lovely Pink Ladies and I hope to give you a little bit of inspiration with my creations."

"Hello ladies! Let me introduce myself a little bit . My name is Helene and I live in Montréal, a city in the province of Québec,Canada. I make cards since 6 years now! I used different mediums for colouring my stamps, but now I'm always using my Prismacolor Premier with solvent and I love it! It's like when I was a little girl with my pencils. I love pink of course, flowers ,pearls, ribbon...all girly stuff! I'm a French Canadian and who could believe one day I would be a DT in a challenge blog in UK! It's really mean that scrapbooking as a universal language! I'm very happy to be a pink lady and I hope my cards will inspire you!"

It's so exciting to have two new Pink Ladies... and as you can see from their fabulous creations using the sketch... we're very luck to have them!! The Pink Palace is certainly going to be a fun place to be with all the girlishness and giggles!

By the way... if you'd like to see more details of any of the cards shown... just click on the name above the card... it'll take you straight to the blog which features the card.

So Pinkies.. We'd love to see what you can come up with using our sketch... but don't forget the most important rule...... (altogether now....) TO USE MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (other than white of course)!! lol!

So get out your pink paper, pens, glitters etc... we can't wait to see how you interpret this sketch..

Thank you all for such stunning lacey entries... we had another difficult choice to make - it seems to get more difficult every time as we get spoiled for choice... but we've come up with our Perfect Pinkies this time... and they are:

Can you believe the luscious pinkness that has been used on these fabulous creations??? Such different styles, but all truly fitting the theme criteria. Please take your Perfect Pinkie badge ladies and wear it in your sidebar to help spread the pink word...

Thank you to everyone who entered... We'll be back shortly with a fabulous new challenge for pink lovers everywhere.... and some exciting news too!
